ArchiveVault - Enterprise class Email Archiving Preparing for Email Compliance and eDiscovery There is no question that the standard for business communications has become email. Whether for internal communications, keeping in contact with suppliers or potential clients, your email contains important and sometimes confidential information that may be needed in the future. Why would you put in place an email archiving policy? Email is the primary form of written communication between your company and everyone else. It is vital that a record of that communication be retained, for two main reasons: * To ensure that the company fulfills the requirements of email compliance regulations. * To respond to legal issues such as eDiscovery requests (for which short or little notice is often given). Why you may need an email archive solution eDiscovery is the process of locating, securing and using documentation from a company's archives in a legal setting. Email is now treated as equal to paper based documents in terms of being valid and admissible in courts of law by existing regulations (HIPAA, FRCP and Sarbanes-Oxley). Failure to comply with these regulations or supply requested documentation can result in fines and fees equal to ten times the cost of an email archiving solution. Email archiving solutions should be run on a dedicated system, separate from your existing email server. In most cases, you can implement more strict security policies on an archiving system than you can on your email server. You can isolate the system from would be attackers, simplify backups, and enjoy the peace of mind attained by having a complete backup of your email server system, should a hardware component fail. Use your email server for what it was intended for, receiving, filtering and sending email, and leave the archiving to your ArchiveVault Appliance.
